RODI for Hospital Tank?????

Is it worth making a bunch of RODI for a hospital tank, or is it OK to use tap water.

This is for a FO hospital tank.

I need to make 45 gallons for my tank. Would take forever to do 5 gallons at a time.

 

Same answer for using tap in your main system, being that it depends on your tap. Some tap is good, some not. If the hospital tank is going to be just fish, test the tap for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. If its negative on those, you should be good.

 

I would do RO regardless, but that's because we have flourine in our tap water. Also, I don't have a DI, so just RO lol.

 

Absolutely no reason not to. Good water quality is important even during the QT or hospital process. Tap water is inconsistent, it may be good now but in 10 minutes it could change, why take that chance?

 

i agree with everyone on use of RO. why risk it? plus you really want to mimic your DT as best as possible so the fish is stressed less between the water conditions when you move it around.

also, why 5gal at a time?
